UCLA GIM #1 was the first club that I checked out. I found out about UCLA when I saw my friend promoting this club during convocation day and he encouraged me to check it out and so I did. Being in a room full of strangers was not as intimidating as I expected. I saw a few people I know that made it a lot more welcoming. The executive board members were also really nice and friendly and they really tried to get all of us involved by playing interactive games and activities. The general vibe of this club is very “homey” and comfortable which is very nice and I definitely see myself being involved in this club. A friend of mine also started chanting my name and I ended up playing the drawing game for my team because once one person chants, everyone started chanting which is out of my comfort zone but it was still lots of fun so that’s okay. I also forgot to take a picture so I screenshotted this from their IG and the circled one is me!
